Our Wedding

Tyler and Emily met the summer of 2019 just days before the start of school at the University of Alabama. They were introduced to each other by Tyler's older brother John. Emily was a mature junior planning her next internship opportunity and Tyler was a freshman looking for the next partying opportunity.... it wasn't quite love at first sight. The pair continued to stay close friends throughout the next two years at school. Their love did not grow until the spring of 2021. Tyler finally had a good head on his shoulders and realized what an amazing catch Emily was. Over the last three and half years, the couple has lived in Tuscaloosa AL, Chicago IL, Dallas TX, Nashville TN, and now Des Moines IA. Throughout their many moves, they have learned that home is what you make it and that they are two very indecisive people. Tyler proposed on the banks of the Cumberland River overlooking the city of Nashville. His proposal speech was anything but longwinded and he got right to the point by saying 'Hey! You wanna get married?' and the rest was history.

Hey, Wanna Get Married?
